at Are Elise that bad in the wet?

I should be taking delivery of my first ever lotus next saturday, a 111S. I keep hearing how bad they can be in the wet and its got me a little concerned. I'm thinking if the handling in the dry is so awesome surely it isnt that bad in the wet. I've had a mk1 mr2 for nearly 8 years now and thats perfectly fine in the wet if you respect it. Does the light weight and wide tyres on the Elise make it any worse or can i just expect it to handle fine and not spit me of the road at the first sign of a puddle. The Elise is on near new AD07's.

I'm keeping my mk1 mr2 on the road for when the weather gets to bad and it snows, its pretty good in the snow with its 185 width tyres all round.

Yeah ive been looking into Carlimits and Lotus on Track, althought i've driven my mk1 mr2 a long time and had a Z4 and 350Z before i'd like to be a better and safer driver.

The first car i bought turned out to have issues of the head gasket and air con variety so i never took delivery as the trader wanted to fix the issues then keep the car a few months to make sure everything was ok.

I will be however picking up a Magnetic Blue 111S tomorrow, its going to be a 140 mile trip home so i'm hoping it doesnt rain too much.
